Giving back to his community is something a San Marcos mechanic and businessman finds rewarding. In this Bobcat Update, Gustavo Torres profiles the owner of Rudy's Automotive.

From 8 a-m to 6 p-m (nat sound of the shop) Monday through Friday (nat sound of cars being fixed), you can hear the sound of engines being serviced at Rudy's Automotive. San Marcos residents have relied on Rudy's to get their car fixed for about two decades. (nat sound of customers chatting) Many regard the proprietor, Rudy Espinoza, as a friend.

The San Marcos community has a special place in his heart. Rudy has seen many changes over the years and yet a consistency in the people.
